Langley officers, along with
others from around the Lower

Heritage and development

Divisions can’t halt Fort building
“We need a three storey
building in our community
like we need a cholera
outbreak.”

Fort residents were sharply
divided over a large
proposed development.

Paul St. Pierre

by Matthew Claxton
mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Fort Langley will get a new
three-storey building downtown, despite a deeply divided
community that argued for two
nights over the pros and cons.
The Coulter Berry Building
proposed for downtown Fort
Langley is either a much-needed
economic boon, or a monstrously large structure that will
damage the village’s heritage
character.
There was little middle ground
on Monday and Tuesday night
as both sides faced off in a
lengthy hearing in Langley
Township council chambers.
Developer Statewood
Properties applied for a heritage alteration permit, to build a
three-storey commercial, office,
and residential structure at the
corner of Glover Road and Mavis
Avenue. It will have stores and
restaurants on the ground floor,
offices on the second floor, and
10 condo units on the top floor.
The site is that formerly
occupied by the Fort IGA and
Frontier Hardware.
The building will include
underground parking, public
washrooms, and would run all
the way to its southern property
line, up against the much smaller Beatnik’s Bistro restaurant.
It may also include a green
“living wall” or mural on the
south side, a green roof, and
large street trees out front. Those
changes were in an amendment
made by Councillor Kim Richter.
Except for Coun. David Davis,
the entire council voted in
favour of the project. Coun. Bob
Long was absent.
Paul St. Pierre spoke forcefully
against the project.
“We need a three storey building in our community like we
need a cholera outbreak,” he
said.
Some places were made to be
small, including Fort Langley, he
said.
“My hope is that you will toss
this out entirely and just leave
us alone,” said St. Pierre.
Misty van Popta, speaking in
favour of the project, noted that
few were surprised to see sharp

divisions of opinion.
“There has never been a
peaceful consensus,” she said.
However, as a business owner
in the village she supported
bringing more people and offices
to the Fort, saying it would help
a town highly dependent on seasonal tourism.
Prominent residents like Howie
Vickberg and Brenda Alberts
also spoke in favour of the project.

We’re speechless.

Harvey Brown, whose grandfather Billy gave his name to
Billy Brown Road, was also in
favour, and noted that he has
seen much bush and farmland
even within the village turned
into housing over the years.
Many of those in favour
were both residents, and business owners, but there was no
unanimity among the local shop
owners.
Gail Chaddock-Costello, who

runs a small business, said she
feared the Fort could become a
playground for wealthy developers.
Diane Morrison, a Fort Langley
BIA founder, spoke against the
plan.
“It can and should be
developed within the heritage
bylaws,” she said.
Fred Pepin of the Langley
Heritage Society was upset that
the heritage guidelines were
ignored, and worried about the
number of parking spaces.
“Where are we going to put
the cars?” he asked.
One of the few to fall in the
middle of the debate was Connie
Blundy, president of the Fort
Langley Community Association.
Most of the association’s directors were initially in favour
of the project, Blundy said. But
they heard a lot of both opposition and support from local
residents.
“How do you represent the
views of a community that is
so completely divided?” Blundy
said.
She said Fort Langley as a
community is tired of fighting
battles over every significant
development. In recent years,
the Bedford Landing project has
been the focus of local ire and
controversy, and previous plans
for the old mill site were even
more contentious.
Blundy said the community needs to renew its Official
Community Plan and revisit
its heritage guidelines with the
Township, creating some kind of
consensus for both the CoulterBerry site and for other future
projects.
The meeting Monday ran until
11 p.m., with 34 people speaking, but about 20 names left on
the list of registered speakers.
More than 40 people spoke on
the second night of the meeting
Tuesday, with those opposed
outweighing those in favour
overall.
The meeting Tuesday was
extended to 11:40 p.m. as council didn’t begin debating the
measures until after 10:30 when
the last speakers finished.

Langley Township council sparred again over the controversial plans for a university district around Trinity
Western’s campus.
“Here we go again,” said Councillor David Davis as
the matter came back up Monday night.
The council voted on first and second reading of an
official community plan amendment that would outline
the boundaries of the university district around the TWU
campus on Glover Road.
Davis and Coun. Michelle Sparrow supported a motion
by Coun. Kim Richter to remove a planned housing
development from the district plan.
The property, on land owned by the Wall family, has
been a major flashpoint. It is not officially affiliated with
the university in any way, but the developers have promoted it as a possible residence for faculty and students.
“I think that we buggered ourselves up here when we
piggybacked the Wall lands… on the university district,”
said Davis.
Davis said he could support the university district if it
was created without the Wall lands.
The amendment to cut the Wall property out of the
district was defeated, and Davis, Sparrow, and Richter
all voted against the current version of the community
plan bylaw.
A public hearing will be held later.
The district idea is to eventually create a somewhat
urbanized zone around the TWU campus. Both Metro
Vancouver and the Agricultural Land Commission have
thrown up roadblocks, with Metro Vancouver even
threatening legal action against the Township.
Opponents of the plan, and the Wall subdivision in
particular, have accused the Township of encouraging
urban sprawl in a rural farming area.
Local streamkeepers have expressed worries about
nearby creeks and rivers.

covenants that will only allow the buildings to be used for that one purpose.
Richter called for stronger language in
the bylaw. She and Davis worried that
rural land owners could later rent the
homes to the general public, essentially
creating apartments in the countryside.
“We want to provide safe and good
housing for these migrant workers, but
it’s just available for these migrant workers,” said Richter.
Coun. Bev Dornan said she believes the
restrictive covenant in the bylaw as written says just that.
Richter’s amendment was defeated, and

Black day when

Black Friday… Cyber Monday… crossborder shopping… everybody’s looking for
the special deals that will make all those
post-Christmas credit card statements just a
bit easier to open.
Everyone is looking for a way to get more
while spending less.
There’s little thought towards a long-term
view – at least not much longer than the
arrival of those Christmas bills in January.
But the fact is, in the end, you always get
what you pay for.
Take your money across the border into
the United States, for instance, and you may
save a few bucks on a gallon of gas, some
milk, dry goods, and a fresh pair of shoes.
But at the same time, you’re paying for
economic benefits that will be enjoyed by
another country – benefits that don’t come
back home to you.
You may be escaping paying local, provincial, and even federal taxes… but the services that those taxes pay for will have to be
paid in some other way… or cut altogether.
It’s simple economics.
Take your money out of Langley, and
you’re paying for improvements for another
community, someone else’s streets, someone
else’s schools and parks, someone else’s
civic services.
Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce
president Angie Quaale pointed out that
money spent inside Langley circulates within the community, shedding benefits as it
moves around.
She cited an estimate that, on average,
each dollar spent in Langley gets spent
another five times before it leaves the community, supporting the local tax base, supporting local businesses, supporting locally
employed residents, and ultimately supporting the entire community.
“Money is like blood,” Quaale postulated.
“It needs to keep moving around to keep
the economy going.”
When money stops moving, the economy
stagnates. When it leaves the body – your
community… need we say more?

Save forest for generations

Dear Editor,
I support preservation of the forested area of McLellan
Park East at 257A Street, which is slated to be sold as fiveacre lots. Until about 100 years ago, Langley Township was
forested with primary virgin forest, of which none remains.
Now the land is agricultural, industrial land, or housing.
The forest in question is arguably the most beautiful piece
of land remaining in Langley and the western Fraser Valley.
We are aware of the level of vision required of the
Vancouver City officials who saved Stanley Park for the
generations. I believe a similar level of vision is now
required of the current Langley municipal government.
McLellan Park East is owned by the people of Langley

to preserve that asset seems a very unfortunate policy.

Fort Langley

Wire burial costly and disruptive

Dear Editor,
Our council has amended
Bylaw 4959 to approve
burying our overhead wires
in Fort Langley.
No big deal? Cleans up
the mess? This is a multimillion dollar project that
could take up to a year to
complete in the heart of the

historic village.
Most of the removal and
replacement of street trees,
landscaping, ornamental
lighting, and brick and
concrete sidewalks will
take place on the east side
of Glover Road, between
the strip mall and Mavis
Avenue, and along Mavis

Fort Langley

Three storeys bring parking

Dear Editor,
Village threatened? Are you kidding me? Fort Langley
already has two three-storey buildings downtown.
In fact, the challenge for parking isn’t new commercial development, but previous developments that have
extremely limited parking. The lack of parking in at least
one current development is appalling. There aren’t 67 parking spots in all the existing commercial real estate combined. Count it. I have.
Coulter Berry is great for Fort Langley. It will create numerous full time jobs. It will create a downtown community.
It will add to the “charm, quaint, and historic feel” people
love. It’s time to move forward.

to King Street, adding an
estimated $250,000 cost,
according to engineering.
It makes the $175,000
spent improving the streetscape in 2005 seem rather
futile.
Another cost that is
incalculable and may be
most damaging is the
impact the six to 12 months
of disruption will have on
small businesses that are
just getting by, on Fort

rentals, and on special
events, traffic, and pedestrians.
All of the above can only
be extremely diminished by
an intrusion of this magnitude on the ambiance and
charm of the time capsule
that is Fort Langley.
So why is our council
spending millions of dollars
on a project that is going
to be so disruptive and
so contrary to the Official
Community Plan?

Abortion

Decisions depend on religious view

Dear Editor,
Dean Clark states we need to talk about
abortion rationally [Rational discussion
needed, Nov. 6 Letters, Langley Advance].
If we were really going to discuss the situation rationally, I believe that we’ve omitted
a huge part – that the decision is up to the
person who owns the body!
We all have choices in this life, some
more socially acceptable than others, and
there is always going to be someone who
feels you are making the wrong one.
But really, who are they to judge? It’s
really nobody else’s business, unless you

make it their business. This decision is just
as personal as what religion you choose to
practice: there is no right or wrong answer.
So instead of pointing fingers and judging people who feel they made the right
decision for their life, how about you focus
more on yourself and what’s going on with
you and your family.
Make the world a better place within your
own home first, before you start blaming
other people for the atrocities of society.

out unnecessary forms or dealing with
conflicting regulations – that they feel are
hampering their ability to grow, or even
simply “to keep the lights on.”
Yamamoto said B.C. is leading Canada
in efforts to cut red tape throughout government, but said the province is taking a
backward step by dumping the HST.
“The worst thing we can do to increase
regulation is to return to the PST,” she
said.
“But that’s what we’re doing,” she said,
noting that the government is bound by
the anti-HST referendum result of more
than a year ago, and adding, “That’s
unfortunate.”
She said that the provincial government
is mitigating the negative impact that the
return to GST/PST will have on business
by synchronizing the way they will be
reported after their return when the HST
is dumped on April 1, 2012.
Yamamoto lauded a pilot project that
will offer regional business licences
through much of the Lower Mainland as
a positive deregulatory move (see story

espite being smack dab in the
middle of horse country, the
Brookswood Shoppers Drug Mart
doesn’t typically have horses
coming through the aisles or grazing by the
front cashiers.
So to have a blue, green, and silver lifesize horse in the store is catching many an
eye of passersby.
The store will be the temporary home
for the Langley Arts Council public art
sculpture that is part of its Horsing Around
Langley campaign.
Once the horse gets a protective clearcoat
to stand up to the outdoor elements and
construction is done on refurbishments
at Brookswood Park, the horse will be
installed here, by the children’s water park.
That site was the inspiration for artist
Marilyn Dyer when she came up with the
swirling and lush design.
Since the fibreglass horse is three dimensional, Dyer has to create art that would
look good in three dimensions.
That included the 79-year-old artist painting the underside of the horse.
She had particular reason for that.
The horse will be installed in a children’s
play area and she had to make sure to
check out the work from a child’s point of
view, looking up.
“Painting it was difficult because of the
ridges,” she said sliding her hand over the
realistic form of the horse’s body.
Dyer, who lives in South Surrey, took her
inspiration from the West Coast, using blue

The Music Access
Society has its first
holiday fundraiser.
by Heather Colpitts
hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

A

Langley-based
non-profit society
that teaches
music is readying students for a Christmas
performance.
The Music Access Society
is hosting a Christmas party
fundraiser on Dec. 8.
The society provides children in Langley, Abbotsford
and South Surrey/White
Rock with music lessons
and even use of an instrument to take home for the
duration of their lessons.
The free music program is
available to disadvantaged
families who would not
otherwise be able to provide
lessons and the Dec. 8 event
is to raise money for the
society’s work.
“Community support is crucial to our
program,” said Anne Guite, the director of
operations. “This is year one of our small
non-profit. At this point it is our hope we
can continue funding the 23 kids from challenged homes in their music lessons.”
The music fundraiser is being held at
27083 Fraser Hwy. from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.

The Music Access Society was founded
by Briner, a local father of four, a practising
lawyer and former private guitar instructor,
and musician Anne Guite, along with a
small group of music educators and supporters.
To find out about lessons or more on the
society and how to support it, go to www.

musicaccesssociety.com. People can also
call 604-259-8452.
It accepts donations of working instruments.
Right now the society offers keyboarding
instruction Mondays at a meeting room in
the Al Anderson Memorial Pool and group
guitar meetings Thursdays at St. Dunstan’s
Anglican Church in Aldergrove.
There are also private lessons for seven
low-income or otherwise challenged children and youth offered in music schools
closest to the kids’ homes.
“Musical instruments are supplied by
local donors,” Guite explained. “There are
still seats available for interested children
and youth. Twenty four children and youth
have, thus far, begun working with us on
their musical journeys.”

On stage
The Music Access
Society is offering
lessons to about two
dozen young people
at various sites.
(followed by the community’s Christmas
parade at 6 p.m.).
Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for kids
(four and older), and include refreshments,
food, prizes, games and of course music.
The program will feature Christmas classics, and pop and folk music, with performances by Soft Focus, and youngsters Fiddlin’
Frenzy as well as John Briner and others as
yet to be confirmed.

Choirs support Rotary effort

After a year off the Rotary choral
concert is back.

T

his year sees the return of the
Christmas-time choral concert by the
Langley Rotary Club.
The club uses the concerts to raise money
for scholarships. This year’s is Nov. 29.
“This is the fifth time we have presented
this event to raise money for youngsters
who might not otherwise be able to pursue
their passion for music,” said organizing
committee member Dale Ball.
The show will, of course, feature holiday
music but also other selections chosen by
the choirs.
“We start off the evening with a performance by the community music school
students which is always really good,” Ball
told the Langley Advance.

Also on the bill are popular choral groups.
“These are professional choirs,” he said.
Performing are Soundscape, the Pacific
Show Time Choir and the Vancouver
Orpheus Male Choir as well as the Langley
Community School orchestra.
The performers and sponsors support the
event because they recognize the value of
raising money for the cause.
“We know music does have an effect on
people, a very positive effect,” he said.
The concert is held at the Langley
Community Music School and starts at 7
p.m.
“We have 250 seats and we really want to
fill it,” Ball said.
Tickets can be purchased in advance
at the music school, or from Rotary Club
members and sponsors whose contributions
help cover the costs so the proceeds can
help kids and Rotary community causes.

it’s perfect fodder for the

Nine strangers, desperately trying to

childhood stories, beloved family traditions, and tales of ordinary heroes.
Promising fun whether you love or
hate the holidays, the script was written by an ensemble of theatre students
under the leadership of award-winning
director Angela Konrad.
“We all wonder what other people’s
families are like, especially around the
holidays,” Konrad said. “This show

the wall in others’ homes, and also to
see the power that telling our stories
can have in the lives of others, often
in ways we don’t expect.”
The show features two theatre
students who are not only Langley
natives but daughters of TWU professors.
Jane Townsend’s father, Calvin,
teaches political and religious studies,
and Margaret Thorpe’s father Allan is
chair of the music department.
Telling tales of home can be tricky,
especially when the parents – and
those who know them – will see the
show. Yet both Jane and Margaret
wrote stories about father-daughter
relationships.
“My dad knows about my story and
is really encouraging,” Townsend said,
“even though my scene is about how
different he is as professor and as my
dad.”

Decorating is all about heart
The holidays are
a time to show
decorating creativity
but keep a few
things in mind.
by Heather Colpitts
hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

N

o matter what
decorations you
choose, the key
is that they mat-

ter to you.
“People are looking for
connection and authenticity,” said stylist Giovanni
Amenta.
The owner of Pink and
Grey, an image consulting
and styling firm, is also
the stylist for Willowbrook
Shopping Centre.
The centre just has its
White Hot Christmas event
which attracted about
3,000 on Nov. 20 and
raised money for several
local charities.
For holiday decorating at
home Amenta said people
should take the lead from
their home’s existing
style. Blingy holiday decorations
will not fit in
with a home
decorated
in French
country.

“Only put up things if
you totally love them,”
Amenta said.
Trends for 2012 are a bit
of a throwback.
The big colour is tradntional red, with gold and
silver being the other hot
tones.
“The biggested trends,
both in clothing and in
home decor is monochromatics,” he said.
While the royal blue of
recent years is out, people
have also moved to the
peacock spectrum with the
deep jewel tones that can
be seen on the graceful
bird.
Some of the must
unique trends
he’s seeing is a
nod to rustic
and homey
Christmas with
natural materials, and even fur
accents.
Amenta encourages
people to look at DIY
and craft projects to
decorate. He

ver the years, I
have discovered
many simple
methods to help
easily perfect the meals we
serve. Some are so obvious,
like a meat thermometer,
that it is bizarre when I
come across a household
that does not have one.
Always during the
approach of traditional
holidays like Thanksgiving,
Christmas, and Easter I
seem to get bombarded with
questions about how long a
turkey should cook.
Although I appreciate
the opportunity for helping
people in the kitchen, the
answer to me always seems
so obvious that it is surprising that more people don’t
already have the solution.
Not only will a simple
oven-proof meat thermometer help to save your
turkey dinner, it will also be
the resolution to mastering
the doneness of a myriad of
meat roasting recipes.
I have owned my current
meat thermometer for probably close to 15 years, and it
is still going strong. Not bad
for an investment of only a
few dollars.
Get one that is heat resistant (oven proof) so it can be
left in the piece of meat for
the entire cooking process.
If an instant-read thermometer is used instead, and
the temperature is checked
at intervals, valued juices
will be lost from the meat
with each puncture. One of
the most important goals
in cooking meat is to keep
it moist while still reaching
the desired doneness.
The area of a turkey
where the thermometer

should be inserted is the
thickest part of the inner
thigh, without touching the
bone.
A stuffed turkey should
be done when the thermometer reads 82ºC (180ºF).
Unstuffed, it should be
77ºC (170ºF).
You should also notice
that the legs move easily
when twisted, and the juices
run clear.
There is a difference in
the two temperature readings, because a stuffed turkey is denser, and the stuffing needs to reach a high
enough temperature to kill
any bacteria present.
That said, I realize people
appreciate approximate
cooking times to effectively
coordinate side dishes to the
main course, and it is for
this reason only that I will
provide guidelines for you
(see box, above right).
Do not use these parameters as your main indication of doneness, but rather
as an additional plan to
your trusty meat thermometer.

There are many factors
for example that will play
havoc on the final accuracy
of the cooking time: the
temperature of the turkey
prior to roasting, the temperature of the stuffing (if
used), or maybe the possibility that your oven is running a bit hotter or colder
than the set temperature.
Where you decide to
purchase your meat thermometer is not important, as
they are available almost
everywhere.
What is important is that
you get one, and that you
enjoy the benefits of it for
years to come.

Approximate cooking times
For stuffed and unstuffed turkey
These parameters are not intended to be used as the main indicators of doneness, but
only as an aid in using your meat thermometer.
If your turkey is cooked in a 160ºC (325ºF) oven, then this table will offer an
approximation, to help in planning other parts of the meal.

wo different chestnut species
grow here. One kind is edible,
the other is poisonous.
The toxic kind (the horse
chestnut) is the one that is most frequently grown here, and it’s very
likely the one your mother picked.
The horse chestnut has very large
leaves composed of five leaflets
attached by short stems to one sturdy,
main stalk. The nuts tend to be rounded, and there is usually (though not
invariably) one nut in each spiny case.
Horse chestnuts are definitely
unsafe. They have been known to
cause nausea, diarrhea, loss of coordination, weakness, paralysis, and at
times, even death.
The edible kind is called the sweet
chestnut. It has oval leaves with serrated sides. Each leaf is on its own
stalk. The top of the nut is pointed,
one side often flat while the other is
rounded. Frequently two or more nuts
share space in one spiny capsule.

Host has duty to safe streets
What should good party hosts know
about their liability for party guests who
try to drink and drive?
by Matthew Claxton
mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

I

t’s been a great party, but now the
guests are tired and a little tipsy.
Everyone’s heading home – so what
should a host do about
the one guy who insists
he can safely drive, even
though he’s been drinking?
Langley lawyer Rick
McMullan said there is
a legal responsibility in
Canada for party hosts
to try and prevent their
guests from driving away
drunk.
These cases are more
familiar from lawsuits against bars and
pubs, McMullan notes, but private parties
have resulted in lawsuits, usually launched
by the victims of drunk drivers.
Courts have found people liable for failing to prevent drunk drivers from getting
behind the wheel.
“There’s probably many people who
do not know that they could be potentially liable civilly,” said McMullan, one
of the three partners at Campbell, Burton,
McMullan.
But hosts need not panic.
No one is completely responsible for
another person’s actions. Hosts are not

required to tackle their guests and wrestle
the car keys from their hands, McMullan
explained. They simply have to take reasonable steps to make sure that their guests
have options for getting home safely during
the holiday season.
A party host who has direct knowledge
that a guest has been drinking and intends
to drive has an obligation to offer an
alternative.
Suggest they call a cab, give them the
number for Operation Red
Nose [see story page B8],
and generally attempt to
dissuade the person from
driving themselves home,
McMullan said.
In extreme cases, it may
even be wise to call the
police.
The guideline courts use
is that of reasonableness.
What could a reasonable
person have done to try and solve the situation?
There’s no hard and fast line, McMullan
said: “Each case turns on its own facts.”
The lawsuits for those who fail to do
anything have come from unlikely quarters.
Most have been launched by those injured
by a drunk driver in crashes.
“There’s been cases where the impaired
driver has sued the social host,” McMullan
said.
In general, keeping party guests safe and
keeping the host safe from legal action is
both the right thing to do, and relatively
simple.

SLEEP
Stem Cell
SNORING?APNEA?

As recommended by Dr.
Gifford-Jones M. D.
Often snorers also have
sleep apnea which
causes being tired all
day, high blood pressure,
heart attacks, strokes,
irregular heartbeats (per
FDA website). Millions
suffer needlessly and
can stop their nightly
ordeals.

To my surprise, after taking Bell
Snoring & Sleep Apnea
Relief #23 I really didn’t snore
or gasp for air anymore. I sleep #23
through the night and feel rested and refreshed in the
morning. Mark Wilson, 40, Hudson, NH ! Sleep apnea
capsules worked first night! For last 15 years I had
sleep apnea and my doctor made me buy a CPAP machine,
which I could not use. Finally Bell #23 helped the first night
and every night thereafter. Like a miracle. Unbelievable.
Karen Braun, 67, Glace Bay, NS ! For 20 years I was
waking up frequently gasping for air. During the day
I would start napping every time I would sit down, because
I was tired. Since taking Bell #23 sleeping 6 hours is
heaven. It made a substantial change in my life. Mary C.
Myrick, 62, Jackson, MS !It is such a joy not having
to use the CPAP machine. I have had sleep apnea for
10 years. Using Bell#23, my wife says there is no more
snoring or stoppage of breathing. It is such a joy to be able
to roll to left or right with no hose or mask to deal with.
Thank you Bell for a great relief. I suggest anyone with these
problems to try it. You will be overjoyed with the results.

Helps
to
activate
naturally millions of
stem cells from our own
bone marrow. The increase
in stem cells released from
the bone marrow into the
blood stream have the
potential to become other
types of tissue cells with
specialized function. Stem
cells will multiply and are
able to become heart cells,
liver cells or any other
organ. Located everywhere
in our body, stem cells are #63
even under our skin layered between the epidermis and
dermis. This is why an increase in stem cells under our
skin may help to create a more youthful cell that would
replenish elastin and collagen and thus may make us
look younger. If our bone marrow does not produce
enough stem cells this can result in many illnesses,
especially a weak heart, kidneys, liver, pancreas, in fact
all healthy functions of our body are decreased.
Sufficient stem cells in our body have a great potential of
self-repair and the ability to rejuvenate tissues. It does
not contain live human stem cells as these can only be
transplanted by surgery and are subject to immunosuppressant drugs to avoid graft rejection.

in writing after using this Stem Cell Activator: Used for
all organ and tissue damage, heart attack damage, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, traumatic brain injury,

The results have been very satisfactory to us and to the
patients and the time varies with different patients

Rowing

Former hoops player finds home on water

David Nicmans has his sights
set on someday owing for
the Canadian Olympic team.
by Troy Landreville

tlandreville@langleyadvance.com

It may seem like a stretch
to draw a connection between
basketball and rowing, but
David Nicmans has shown an
affinity for both sports.
In July, the 17-year-old
Langley resident made the transition from hard court to water
when he enrolled in a learn
to row program with the Fort
Langley Youth Rowing Society.
He found his passion, and
since that time switched to rowing as his primary sport.
Nicmans said the physical attributes of being tall
and strong are important for a
rower.
“But the most important thing
is the mental toughness,” he
added.
“You have to be willing to be
able to push yourself – you just
can’t give up. You have to be
able to break through all mental
barriers and push yourself to the
point of total physical exhaustion in a period of six to eight
minutes, depending on how
strong and fast you are over a
two-kilometre course.”
With the help of his coaches,
Nicmans qualified to represent
B.C. at the national rowing
championships, held Nov. 9-11

A rowing newbie, relatively
speaking, Nicmans held his own
in a field of roughly 200 rowers representing nine provinces.
Divisions included juniors, 18 &
under, and a field of 18 junior
men, including Nicmans.
After two days of competition,
Nicmans placed second in the G
Final for men’s singles, which
unofficially establishes him in a
ranking of ninth place overall for
Canadian junior men.
He achieved his goal of being
in the top 10 in the country.
Nicmans is now raising the
bar.
“I want to be in the top five
next year and potentially No. 1,”
he said.
He also plans to attend university in B.C. and continue rowing
as a member of a varsity team.
“I am hoping to step onto the
international stage in the next
couple years, and I do want to
make the Canadian Olympic
rowing team,” Nicmans said.
The experience of playing
basketball under his former
hoops coach helped mold
him into being a better rower,
Nicmans believes.
“The determination and competitive spirit that my basketball
coach, Mike Cohee, instilled in
me from an early age has totally
worked to my advantage in rowing,” Nicmans said. “No excuses, no missed practices, no days
off. I feel a lot of my success has
been caused indirectly by the
good habits that Mike helped
develop in me.”

“You have to
be able to break
through all mental
barriers and push
yourself to the point
of total physical
exhaustion.”
David Nicmans

Langley rower David Nicmans took this photo of himself out on the water.
at Elk Lake in Saanich.
He had to achieve specific
times on ERG testing and on the
water time trials in late August
in order to qualify to represent
B.C. at the national regatta.
Nicmans admitted being nervous going into the event.

“I expect a lot of myself, and I
feel that I have higher expectations of myself than my coach
and my parents,” he said. “I
want to be the best.”
The wintery conditions at Elk
Lake added to the challenge.
Race days were frosty, about

one or two degrees Celsius at
7 a.m. when the boats were
launching, Nicmans recalled.
“On [the] Friday the lake was
a bit rough but that is to be
expected at Elk Lake,” he added.
“Saturday, the lake was fairly
calm, just cold.”

Kayakers train with Olympians

A trio of Fort Langley paddlers
shared the water with Canadian
kayaking royalty over the weekend.
by Kelley Fripps Cheung
Contributor

Some of the London Olympic spirit
came to Burnaby Lake from Nov. 9-12
when three Olympians and two national
team members visited to guest coach and
train with B.C.’s sprint kayakers.
The camp was attended by more than
30 high level athletes from across the
province, with additional coaches coming
from their own clubs to assist.
The camp was hosted by Canoe Kayak
BC (CKBC).

A trio of Fort Langley athletes – Ben
Muench, Elliot Hoyt and Meghan Cheung
– joined the Olympians twice a day to
work on their paddling technique and
speed.
They spent long hours on the water,
averaging more than 20 kilometres in
both single and team boats.
Olympians Mark Oldershaw, Hugues
Fournel, and Brady Reardon, along with
national team members Corey Hamilton
and Mark Klevinas, joined the athletes in
team boats.
One highlight was when the group travelled to Pitt Meadows to compete in the
Loonies in the Boonies regatta, where the
athletes teamed up with the Olympians in
a friendly but intense competition.
Off the water, the guest coaches helped
the athletes with goal setting and mental

training as many of them are preparing
for the Canada Games competition next
summer.
This year was an exciting one for the
national athletes.
Mark Oldershaw brought glory to
Canada when he won a bronze medal
at the 2012 London Summer Olympics
in the 1,000 metre men’s canoe. He is

The Langley Stampeders
are marching forward in
their bid to win the B.C.
football title.
On Sunday, Langley
Minor Football’s midget
squad took another step
towards the championship game by beating the
defending provincial champion White Rock Titans
22-7.
The heavily favoured
Titans, who won the season title by finishing first
in its 14-team league, were
simply overwhelmed by
the Stampeders’ defence
and ball control.
Against a Titan wildcat offence, the Stamps’
defence shut down any
running game White Rock
attempted.
When the Titans went
to the air the Stampeders’
defensive backs suffocated
the White Rock receivers.
In the opening quarter
neither team could move
the ball effectively as the

Langley Cribbage
League

offences only accumulated
four first downs between
them.
In the second quarter,
the Stamps’ offence came
alive with quarterback
Cory McMurchy hitting
running back Reagan
Doucette on a 47-yard pass
to move the Stamps to the
Titan 12-yard line.
After a nifty run by
running back Kalen
McMurchy, slotback
Harman Basra scooted in
on a reverse to open the
scoring.
On the ensuing kickoff
the Stamps gained an additional point by kicking the
ball through the end zone
to put Langley ahead 8-0.
At that point, the
Stamps’ defence went to
work, led by the defensive line of Sukh Toor,
Jon Jon Miao, Brayden
Norcliffe, and Shaiheem
Charles-Brown. Langley’s
defenders put pressure on
the Titans quarterback and
would not allow White
Rock’s offence to get any
momentum.
Any time the Titan
offence was able to break
the line of scrimmage, linebackers Evan York, Bryan
Desmarais and Cameron
Kaulback made sure the
gains were minimal.

During the second half
the Stamps took over, driving the ball into the Titan
zone time and time again.
The Stamps dominated
field position throughout
the half.
Kalen McMurchy capped
off a 76 yard drive early in
the fourth quarter with a
one yard plunge to make
the score 15-1 for the
Stamps.
The drive was set up by
runs from slotback Jack
Westcott, Doucette, and
Cory McMurchy.
Later in the final quarter,
Cory McMurchy hit his
brother Kalen on an eightyard touchdown strike
increase the Stamps’ lead
to 22-1.
The game was well
under control with the
Titans not being able to
move on offence.
The game ended with
a late touchdown by the
Titans with just over a
minute to go in the final
quarter.
The Stamps now advance
to the provincial semifinals, facing second place
finishers Meadow Ridge
Knights this Saturday
at Samuel Robertson
Technical Secondary in
Maple Ridge.
Kickoff is 2 p.m.

Heading into Wednesday’s action, the Aldergrove
Totems have a tie and two losses at the B.C. ‘AA’ boys
soccer championships in Burnaby.
A 1-1 tie with LV Rogers and losses to Okanagan
Mission (1-0) and Sentinel (4-2) placed Aldergrove
Community Secondary’s boys fourth in their pool.

While their seasons both ended with losses, North
Langley Football’s atoms and junior bantams
each had remarkable turnarounds from 2011.
by David Clements

Contributor

Last season in the
Valley Community Football
League, both the North
Langley atom and junior bantam Bears squads
failed to win a single
game.
Both teams accomplished a remarkable turnaround in 2012, with each
contending for the Valley
final in their respective
divisions.

Atom Bears
In the atom championship game Saturday,
the Bears faced the only
opponent to defeat them
all season.
The Abbotsford Falcons
had a strong second quarter, going up 18-0 in the
first half en route to a 24-0
victory.
The Bears never stopped
battling in the latter
stages, only allowing one
more major during the second half.

The Falcons tied it up
in the third quarter, and
moved ahead with another
score in the fourth quarter.
The Bears valiantly
attempted to respond,
moving the ball into
Falcon territory in the
dying seconds of the game
but the pass completed
from Brett Christensen to
Keaghan Hurley was short
of a first down, so the contest ended in a 28-20 victory for the Falcons.
Bailey had an outstanding game for the Bears,
scoring all three Bears
touchdowns, making some
great tackles on defence,
and recovering a fumble.
Yun-Jae Boo also came
up big on defence, breaking up several Falcons’
passing plays.
Like their atom counterparts, the JB Bears turned
in a silver medal performance with a 7-3-1 record
in 2012.

In the spirit of giving

More outstanding citizens sought for Stafford award
What’s in

Store

Roxanne Hooper

rhooper@langleyadvance.com

Having an H.D. Stafford Good
Citizen in my family, I’d be
remiss in not mentioning that
the chamber is once again on the
hunt for new 2012 nominees.
I’m honoured, as I’ve said
before, to have one of Langley’s
consummate volunteers as my
father. I’m just hopeful I turn out
half the person he is. Those are
big shoes to fill.
Well, the reason I bring it up
now is the deadline for nominations is this Friday, at 5 p.m.,
and I’m hopeful some great nominations will come forward.
The Greater Langley Chamber
of Commerce has been presenting this honour to deserving residents since 1980, and among the

list there’s a lot of people I grew
up seeing – people volunteering
along side my mother and father
at Rotary functions or other community events. The likes of Jock
McKinnon, Eric Bysouth, Sylvia
Anderson, George Preston, and
Betty Cox were all familiar faces
to me in my youth.
Finding that perfect person to
recognize and honour each year
with this special award must be
difficult.
Admittedly, in any community,
there’s only a handful (percentage wise) of people who make
up the community’s core volunteers.
And Langley, while being an
extremely caring and compassionate community, is really no
exception. So, what’s wrong with
the rest of us, one might ask.
Well, admittedly finding time is
difficult, and that’s leaving charities, clubs, and organizations
rethinking how to recruit and
train volunteers, and what they

can expect out of them.
Having been bitten by the volunteer bug – like my father – I
realize the appeal. I’ve experienced the rewards that befall
those who give to help their
community, and I recommend it
highly to those who have never
tried. But I also understand that
constant scramble to juggle work
and family life with volunteer
endeavours.
So for those who give, and
give, and give, recognition like
the H.D. Stafford Good Citizen
Award, are well deserved.
I know people like my dad
don’t do what they do for the
public accolades. They do it
because they care about the community.
But it is fitting that their tenacity, commitment, kindness,
and giving spirit are applauded.
If you know someone who fits
this criteria, who’s worthy of
this calibre of recognition, submit their name – but do it fast.

Nomination forms are available
at www.langleychamber.com.
The recipient will be crowned
at the chamber’s December meeting, on Dec. 11.

Twist given to contest

Just like the window competition that’s become synonymous
with the Downtown Langley
Business Association, merchants
in Brookswood are following suit
with a similar contest of their
own.
They say copying is the strongest form of flattery. Well, if that’s
the case, then DLBA behold –
your actions are being mimicked
– sort of.
Downtown Langley businesses
kicked off their annual Christmas
window contest last week, and
one lucky holiday shopper – who
scribbles their name and number
on the back of a receipt from
a participating merchant – will
walk away with one of three
prize packages worth $2,600.

I can’t wait to win the techie
package complete with everything Mac. My fingers are
crossed.
In the meantime, in
Brookswood, its first ever
Christmas window contest is a
little smaller in scale – given that
it’s a smaller area – but they’ve
introduced a program with a neat
charity twist.
Many of the Brookswood merchants have donated gifts that
are currently on display in the
window of a vacant storefront
tucked away in the mall between
Istanbul Donair and Domino’s.
One customer will win the
entire window when the draw is
made Dec. 14. The good news,
there’s still time to enter, and
there’s no purchase necessary.
Customers only have to bring
in a non-perishable food donation for the Langley Food Bank,
and in exchange they’ll be given
an entry form. Brookswood, here
I come. Kudos on the idea.

Kevin David Smyth passed away
on November 10, 2012 at the
age of 54. He will be forever
loved by his wife, Shirley; sons,
Daniel and Ben; daughter, TerriLynn; grandchildren; a large
and wonderful extended family;
and many dear friends. Kevin
worked for PCL Constructors for 25 years and will be
respectfully remembered by his co-workers. Kevin will
be deeply missed by all who knew him. A Memorial
Service will be held on November 24 at 10:00 am at
Henderson’s Funeral Home in Langley, BC.

LEIPPI, Fred Donald

August 21, 1933 - November 16, 2012

It is with great sorrow that we
announce the passing of Fred Leippi.
He went to be with the Lord and be
reunited with his father Frederick and
mother Helen Leippi. Fred was born in
Lajord, Saskatchewan.
He had various business holdings
from hotel ownership to commercial
and residential. Fred was an avid
outdoorsman who enjoyed hunting
and ﬁshing. Many memories were
made while out on his boat, the Wailea, where ﬁshing and
crabbing became a yearly adventure. Many laughs and wonderful
memories were created and were always shared around the
kitchen table or the campﬁre.
Family was the most important aspect of Fred’s life. He took being
a grandfather and great-grandfather to the highest level that was
possible. He went to great lengths to attend family camping trips
throughout his short illness. His sense of humour was always
encouraged and expected. Many family gatherings always had
laughs and various stories being remembered by all.
Fred is survived by his loving wife Lois and 3 children: Cindy (Dave)
Roddick, Michael (Rhonda) Leippi and Fred Jr. (Corrie) Leippi. He
is also survived by 9 Grandchildren: Justin, Ashleigh (Cory) Wills,
Lana (Halden) Webber, Samantha, Steven, Kaylee, Jacob, Lexi and
Ava; 4 great-grandchildren: Jake, Jordan, Brooklynn and David.
Fred is also survived by his 2 sisters Delores and Arlene.
It is with heartfelt joy that Fred will be able to fullﬁll his role of
a great grandfather to little Alise who passed away 3 weeks
earlier.

Cancer June 21-July 22: The weeks ahead feature
work, though some “heart memory” of an attraction
remains to relieve any drudgery. (It’s might be more
than relief: a relationship could blossom into romantic
intensity.) Recent delays end Monday, so you can move
forward, start new projects and relationships, and give
promises, especially in the zones of work, machinery,
health and dependents. Your optimism, popularity
and happiness rise Sunday to Tuesday. Retreat, rest
midweek. Your energy and charisma move upward
Friday (challenges) and Saturday (success!). Be wary
of an ambitious partnership early week.
Leo
July 23-Aug. 22: A month of increased
romance, (good) risk, lucky speculation, creativity
and self-expression, pleasure and beauty has just
begun. Threaded through all this pleasure will be
various chores (legal, intellectual, writing chores?)
and domestic demands. Don’t neglect these, as
they might, oddly enough, prove supportive to your
romantic, creative (etc.) interests. Avoid new starts
through Tuesday afternoon. This day needs care
with machinery, work, exertion. Happiness strikes
midweek! Social joys, romance, popularity arrive;
wishes come true. Retreat, rest and plan, Friday/
Saturday.
Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: The weekly accent lies
on home, kids, real estate, security, sales territory,
retirement, nutrition, garden/farm, basement,
landscape, and your foundations in career and love.
Recent delays end Monday, though indecision lingers
for a week or two. By Wednesday you can start mildly
signiﬁcant projects in career or more signiﬁcant ones
in home areas, real estate, etc. Your career project
might be in real estate (etc.) or you might end one
job/career, to make room for a new one. If you are in
a romance, the weeks ahead intensify it – and your
courage. The physical side grows hot.

Aries March 21 - April 19: Many barriers,
disruptions and sudden new conditions have
assaulted you over the last several years. The weeks
ahead bring a gentle, wise view of these “assaults
of fortune.” You’ll understand, you’ll see society and
its ways and your place in it. You’ll see your journey
thus far, and the potential forward directions. By late
December you’ll be mentally and spiritually refreshed,
ready to charge the ramparts of ambition once again.
Meanwhile, love, travel, learning and culture ﬁll your
days. Monday ends sexual, ﬁnancial delays. Protect
reputation Tuesday. Home succeeds Saturday.
Taurus April 20-May 20: Recent delays end
Monday – you can conﬁdently make new plans
and/or start new projects. The weeks ahead
emphasize depths, mysteries, intimacy, “treasures,”
commitment and consequence. You might march into
a more signiﬁcant bonding with someone you met in
late October (or someone who returned to your life
in November) – this can involve love or business,
friends or “your audience.” Pursue money these
weeks (Wednesday important) – you face a very
lucky potential here. Your energy and charisma soar
early week – start something! Trips, communications
hard Friday, easy Saturday.
Gemini
May 21-June 20: Recent delays end
Monday afternoon, so step forward, start projects, or
make relationship overtures (in love and business).
The weeks ahead feature many meetings, new people,
fresh horizons and new opportunities. You might
relocate, sign or negotiate a contract (most likely, a
work/service agreement) or meet a new attractive
person who challenges, unsettles you, but could be your
“right partner.” Rest, lie low Sunday to Tuesday eve. A
ﬁnancial, health or sexual matter reaches a hopeful
(but lucky?) climax Tuesday. Your energy, charisma
climb midweek. Good money moves Saturday.
